Ooh that looks so pretty @itsfi , great idea! I’m going to try mine with some of my Trinny pots or Nars Creme stick underneath and see what happens too. 

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom, hopefully one of those will work. 🤞🏼 Having a primer underneath and the right one really did the trick! Very happy about that - the shadows are so pretty.

Ooh goodies goodies. Thx so much for the tip @itsfi 🌹❤️

@itsfi ‘Fall for Me’ has me swooning so it’s been adeptly named 😍

[itsfi]

@Guessgal, if I wasn’t so pulled in by the color, I might have picked it up for the name alone. 😉

Ooohh I picked up Fall for Me too @itsfi and am waiting for my blush lumiere to come in as well. All the swatches I've seen of the balms are so promising and I'm really interested to hear what people think about the Camellia pots for lips and cheeks. I wound up getting the darker of the two blushes (Brun Rossi) as someone on YouTube used it as a hybrid blush/bronzer diffused look that was very pretty plus the peach really didn't speak to me and you have to admit that darker blush isn't something that you usually see.

[itsfi]

@niki172, oooh, that darker blush is really unique. 😍 A diffused blush/bronzer hybrid would be so pretty! I’m curious what brush you’d recommend using for something like that. I’m not great with blush application so I tend to go for things that are fool-proof or at least marketed as such - that at least means I have a chance of getting it right! 😆

@itsfi Sephora used to sell this really big and fluffy fan brush that I own that they sadly discontinued. I would try either SEPHORA COLLECTION PRO Blush Brush #93  or SEPHORA COLLECTION PRO Highlight Brush #87 as the bristles are angled you could pick up product on one end of the brush and use the remaining clean part of the brush to help diffuse the blush if need be. I hope this helps and makes sense. I feel like with a regular Dome or round blush brush you have to be really precise and/or need something that's going to pick up a lot of product.

This is really helpful. Thank you @niki172! 🤗

@blackkitty2014 @Titian06,  I tried the eyeshadows yesterday, using the top left shade all over with a little of the bottom right shade in the crease, with only a primer underneath (NARS Pro Prime). The shadows lasted for the entire day - yes! 😁 I noticed  the slighted bit of creasing around the 7-hour mark which for me is great! I first tried using a blending brush to apply a wash of color to my lid and while the lighter of two colors showed up on my lids, it was just barely. The lighter of the two shades showed up on my lids best when I used a flat shader brush to apply two light layers of the  eyeshadow. 

I'll use the same shadows again today with a liquid eyeshadow underneath as @TraceyEB mentioned below (thanks again, traceyeb!) and will let you know how the shadows look and hold up and compare with using just a primer underneath.

[Titian06]

@itsfi - I'm glad the shadow worked out!  I hope @TraceyEB 's suggestion will work even better!  I usually use a flat brush to put it on my lids (on top of Too Faced Shadow Insurance).  That has always worked well for me, but everyone is different. 😁

[itsfi]

@Titian06, I used the TF glitter glue primer and that really helped to bring out the colors in the quad! I don’t see it around much so I’m hoping it isn’t discontinued. 😮 

[Titian06]

@itsfi - I saw your swatches over the glitter glue...so vibrant! 💖💖💖

[itsfi]

@Titian06, I think using any primer that is geared towards sparkle or glitter shadows will help to make the colors in the quad pop! 🤩

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you @itsfi . I’m not good using Chanel liquid eyeshadow. I’m making a mess out if it every single darn time 😂🤣 oh boy the quad might be a trouble for me to use.

[itsfi]

@blackkitty2014, the Chanel liquid eyeshadow can be a pain in the patoots to use unless I have some patience and time 😬 And like you said, it can get messy. 😑 I like the consistency of the ILIA Liquid Powder Eye Shadow Tint Glaze over the Chanel liquid eyeshadow - I feel that requires less patience and skill on my part to get right. 😉 

[blackkitty2014]

Thx for the tip @itsfi 🌹❤️

[AMK721]

@itsfi  soooooo pretty!

[itsfi]

@AMK721, thank you! I haven't had it for very long, but am enjoying this collection. Chanel sure has released quite a few products in a very short amount of time. 😍 Will you pick up anything from either this spring-summer collection or the N1 line?

[AMK721]

@itsfi  seeing all these gorgeous swatches and new products have me seriously thinking about what I might purchase. Do I need anything? No not really. Do I want anything? Heck yes - all the things! LOL.

[itsfi]

@AMK721, I have that conversation all the time in my head. 😂 I have to be careful not to say it aloud lest it gets used against me. Need … want … it’s such a fine line! 😉
